would also like to thank all of the artisans who attended and freely demonstrated
their crafts. We had many visitors who were quit interested in the beautiful
things we make and how we go about it. We had the stage with lovely celtic
bands on one side of us and the practice area for the pipe bands on the other
side of us so we had lots of entertainment all weekend. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I would like to add that
those who were not able to attend the Highland Games missed a great opportunity
to help show a huge population of the general public the best side of our game.
It is not always the same old crowd who attends and visits with us. Even though
we do not usually recruit large numbers from these games, those we do recruit
are usually dedicated players. Catastrophe not withstanding, you will have another
opportunity next year and I hope everyone makes this a priority who we are and
what we do.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
